Description Condition Check one Check one deteriorated __ unaltered ^21 original site X>L_ good __ ruins J«L altered ——moved date __ fair __ unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance The Franklin Printing House is a three story commercial brick building located in downtown Iowa City. Its early date of construction (1856), its intact second and third floor facade and cornice line in combination with the restored lower level storefront make this building an excellent example of pre-Civil War commercial architecture in the city. The building is three stories high, of clear span construction, with a slightly pitched roof. It is rectangular on plan measuring 27 by 61 feet. It is constructed of an orange-colored common brick, laid in a running bond on the front, with a Dutch bond on the side and rear walls. The interior plan consists at present of an open first floor storefront with rear storage/work area, a straight stairway in the northeast front of the plan, and apartments on the upper two floors. The present facade consists of recently remodeled storefront level with raised large display awindow and transom, and two right-hand side entrances, one servicing the store, the other the upper floors. Fenestration above consists of three windows which are symmetrically arranged on each floor level. Metal pedimented hood molds with side brackets cap each window. The metal cornice is set above a corbelled brick raised plane and consists of an ornate frieze, a band of dentils, a row of modillions and the cornice itself. The cornice is of interest in that its lower components turn into the front wall plane at each end resulting in a centered visual effect. The south side wall is fully though irregularly fenestrated. The windows on three levels are generally vertically alligned, and each level of windows consists of seven bays. Beginning from the rear of the building, an in wall chimney separates the first two bays. Second and third floor windows in the third and fourth bays were shortened. The lower windows with one exception were also shortened and infilled with cube glass. Brick arches on this level are jack arches, executed in brick. A rear side door or double door apparently was sited on the alley side. The side parapet wall with tiled coping, steps down in two stages along the side wall as the roof level descends toward the west or rear. Star bolts reinforce the side wall at each floor level corner. The rear wall is stuccoed and reveals only two separated windows per floor. Most likely this wall plane was fully fenestrated originally with four windows per level. A basement entrance area with exterior stair is presently buried beneath a concrete block flat-roofed rear addition which connects this building to 111 S. Dubuque to the north. A small single story rear porch or addition appears in the Sanborn maps after 1879 and remains through 1912. In spite of the forces of change the Franklin Printing House has retained much of its original character. In the recent past, it has been known as 115 South Dubuque Street. It blends in quite nicely with the tree-lined, brick-paved walking mall that was installed in the late 1970's. In 1984 the storefront was remodeled, and during 8.

It is also significant by virtue of its very survival in relatively unaltered condition as a pre-Civil War Iowa City commercial structure. The Daily Reporter of 12 September 1856 noted the completion of the new quarters for the paper. "Notice is hereby given that the CAPITAL REPORTER Office is now removed to its new quarters on Dubuque Street...Our friends will bear this in mind and save themselves the trouble of disturbing the antiquated splendor of our late hiding place, by dropping without further ceremony into the "Franklin Printing House." The editor's office was in the rear of the first floor where he could be found seated "on is three legged throne." The composition room was a 20' by 60' open space on the second floor, the press room was in the basement. The paper concluded its description of the new quarters stating "In a word the "Franklin," built expressly for our own use, well adapted to the carrying on of the great Philosopher's immortal art— "heaven born" like his own famed lightning — is about the best establishment all things considered, to be found west of Chicago." The previous "offices" of the paper had included a location which the editor described as a "bleak and ghastly place." It was followed by quarters which collapsed into an adjacent excavation and the employees "narrowly escaping with life and limb, we emerged from the ruins with a few broken cases, mangled presses and tubs of lime eaten type." Finally the previous quarters were a "vermin-haunted tenement...where we have been parched with the dust, mired in the mud, bitten with the bugs and "frozen and thawed" like an apple f6r thirteen months." Lastly, the paper called for continued support from its patrons. "And insomuch as our surroundings are so much improved, we hope for abilities and disposition to be more to the advantage, interest and satisfaction of our patrons and we hope above all as to their increased liberality." The Franklin Printing House building, now known as 115 South Dubuque, was built as a newspaper and printing establishment. Two prominent state newspapers occupied it from its construction in 1856 until the mid-1870's. They were the Iowa Capital Reporter, for which the building was constructed, and the Iowa Standard . Both papers moved to Iowa City in the early 1840's while the new capital city was being established, bringing with them opposing political views. The Iowa Capital Reporter's significance lies in the fact that it won the competition to be the official printer of the legislators. This put a second democratic paper, the Iowa Citv Argus, out of business and dimmed the Iowa Standard's progress. The History of Johnson County states "When the first session of the territorial legislature met in Iowa City (winter of 1841-42) there was a red-hot contest among these three printing officers for the State printing. The Burlington party, or Van Antwerp & Hughes, of the Capitol Reporter office, won the stake. This left Dr. Jackson and his Argus "out of a job," so to speak; and in a short time he sold out to 9.
